I went to a Trump rally where people called Biden a pedophile. DeSantis's team called people who opposed their bill groomers. Nancy Mace accused trans people of being sex creeps. All the while, the Trump administration is asking for leniency for an alleged sex trafficker.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

What is gaslighting? Gaslighting is when an Episcopalian bishop pleads with the President for mercy for Gay, Lesbian, transgender and immigrant groups who are now feeling endangered and fearful—and Trump calls her a hater.

What could possibly go wrong.
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.
